GOP brings home sixth Congressional Baseball Game in a row

Republicans extended their winning streak to six games as the charity event raised more than $3.2 million and sold over 32,000 tickets, organizers said.

  • On Wednesday, June 10, 2026, the Republicans defeated the Democrats 11-2 at Nationals Park, securing their sixth consecutive victory in the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity.
  • Raising more than $3.2 million for charity, the competition—which first began in 1909—drew a record crowd of more than 32,000, far exceeding average Nationals attendance of about 22,000.
  • In honor of America250, both teams wore matching uniforms for the first time in recent memory, while GOP starting pitcher Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., held Democrats scoreless through two innings.
  • Rep. Jimmy Panetta, D-Calif., stated, "Hopefully it transcends and translates into our working together in Congress," emphasizing the event's role in mending partisan fences between the parties.
  • Though the GOP held a 47-42 all-time lead heading into Wednesday's game, Democrats expressed optimism about future competitiveness as former major leaguer Mark Teixeira prepares to potentially join the Republican team in 2027.
